Except people who live across the continent are sad now.
Of course, people across the continent also have way less time to read than they'd like lately ...
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hey. New board.
Neal Stephenson wrote a new book and I somehow didn't know!
I will see the world again in a couple of days.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's really good. I think there's a sense of freedom from not writing in the Temeraire universe.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Neal Stephenson wrote a new book
I saw that, and I don't know if it's just the depression talking, but my first reaction was "Ugh, I am NOT up for all that heavy lifting."

I'm thrilled that she's enjoying such success as a published author, but I selfishly miss her fanfic from fandoms I'm part of. She was one of the best SGA writers ever, and she actually managed to get me to read Wincest.

She wrote it unbelievably convincingly. I'd like to try something of hers, but Temeraire doesn't sound like it's for me -- I'm not a huge fantasy reader.
